I’m no engineer, but if one inserts something (in my case a “dongle” that provides, via Windows, WIFI capability), recognizing that there’s a new something can’t be that difficult. Still, “open source” just might attract – even in 2017 – some talented individual or team to tackle this issue.

There are obviously onerous limits on development when talent is volunteered and QC is very, very tough. My point is that LINUX is “the better way” for many people and orgs … but far from all. I just read an article that said that while Apple is clearly a VERY successful company, they seldom “get there first ” instead, they take a good idea (recognizing which ones are good is probably tougher than it may sound) and make it “enough better” to warrant doubling the price.
